"Blue Lagoon" Lebron 9 & "Butternut Squash" Lebron 10

Just recently I looked at my blog and noticed I haven't updated in nearly a month (been super busy with customer orders, which is an awesome thing), but since I have a few minutes, I figured i'd take the time to show two 1-of-1 customs done a while back that were never posted before.

For a while people had been asking if I would ever do work on Lebrons...well I got the opportunity from my peoples at Elite Exclusive (http://shopeliteexclusive.com/) to do a pair of custom Lebrons. Lebrons have a different material than most of the other shoes I work on (which are primarily leather or synthetic leather based) but had been wanting to try my hand on them.

The first pair is the "Blue Lagoon" Lebron 9s. These were made using the Lebron 9 Taxis. I was stuck for a while on what type of design to do for these and ended up doing something off the top of my head. I just let it flow as I was going along and here are the results:

The shoe that was used for the custom: The Lebron 9 "Taxi":

The second pair is the "Butternut Squash" Lebron 10s. This is a personal pair:

And the shoe that was used: The Lebron 10 "Floridian":

And there you have it! Just something I thought i'd share. Now back to the lab...got a bunch of other stuff i'm working on from customer orders to planning the "Summer Love 3" Series (yeah, it's almost that time again). In the meantime, be sure to visit the websites in the "Links" section on this page as well as the facebook page (link to the page right underneath the links section). Be back soon....

The latest of my wrestling themes is based on probably the most popular faction in professional wrestling. The Bullet Club is a wrestling faction in Ring Of Honor Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling consisting of Cody Rhodes (son of the legendary Dusty Rhodes), Adam Cole (ROH World Champion), Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks (ROH World Tag Team Champions), Hangman Page, Guerrillas of Destiny (G.O.D.), Frankie Kazarian, Yujiro Takahashi, Bad Luck Fale, & Bone Soldier. For those who were wrestling fans in the 90's, think a new and improved version of the NWO (but with better talent IMO). Former members of the group include current WWE superstars Prince Devitt (aka Finn Balor), Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, and former world champion AJ Styles.

Recently, a close friend of mine who's also a huge wrestling fan as well as a talented artist (check out his Facebook pages...he does sports art themes and caricatures...and yes he takes commissions!) commissioned me to do some sneaker…

This custom theme takes the Puma Smash shoe and give it a funky graffiti inspired twist using mainly primary colors, giving it an old school hip hop inspired vide and style. These are currently available at the website (men's sizes only) and only one pair will be made for each available size.

The idea for these came from an old baby picture of me with my mom. I mentioned how she resembled Marvel Comics character Misty Knight (mom was rocking an awesome fro' in the pic) and she gave me the idea to make her a pair of boots themed after the character. For those unaware, Misty Knight is a Marvel super hero and supporting character in the Luke Cage Netflix series. In the comics, she's a kick ass super hero with a metal arm who's skilled in martial arts, has super strength, and is the love interest of Iron Fist (who's Netflix series debuts next spring).

The base for the custom was a pair of women's black leather Timberland boots. I decided to go primarily red for the base color (similar to the above pic) and added a comic book-like style and here's the finished product:

I even included the Daughters of the Dragon logo on the hangtag that came with the boots (Daughters of the Dragon is a comic book series starring Misty Knight and Colleen Wing). And…
